In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Yaa Baby’s friend, also named Yaa, shared previously unknown details about their relationship with the public.

She painted a picture of a troubled relationship that lasted as long as it did due to GH Kobby’s unfathomable riches.

Philipa Frimpong, popularly known as Yaa Baby or Shuga, was a Ghanaian TikTok star who was shot to death by her boyfriend, whose real name is Hayford Boateng.

GH Kobby reportedly shot her by accident on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, during a recreational trip to Yeji in the Pru East District of the Bono East Region.

Friend's claims about Yaa Baby, Kobby’s relationship

Yaa Baby's friend claimed in an interview with Smart Ghana TV that she was unhappy in the relationship due to GH Kobby constantly cheating on her with other women.

“Yaa told me Kobby is troublesome and that he is a womaniser, so I told her to leave the relationship if she wasn’t happy. I asked her how she can be with a man who is out there visiting clubs and restaurants with other women? She subsequently told me she broke up with him,” she said.

She further claimed that the relationship between the two was mended in May when the police arrested Yaa Baby for the possession of illicit substances.

According to her, the arresting officer asked Yaa and her roommate, Hajia, to pay a huge amount of money to be freed.

Hajia, in turn, called GH Kobby to come and bail them out, which he did.

“Yaa Baby and Hajia were arrested in possession of an illicit substance. They threatened to jail her if she did not pay a huge amount of money so they called GH Kobby, who came to pay the amount. The moment he settled that debt, he left with Yaa Baby, and she’s not been back to her apartment since then,” her friend added.
